RAW Thread for 12/8/03
 

ARGH! Why are they ending this relationship angle with Jericho and Christian NOW? Sigh, oh well.

wwe.com preview

Mick Foley is back as the new Co General Manager of RAW and chances are that RAW is never going to be the same! Foley said last week that he is going to have an administration that puts what the fans want first and, as a sign that he intends to stand behind his word, Foley announced a petition drive to bring Stone Cold Steve Austin back to RAW! Also, how will Eric Bischoff respond to all of this tonight on RAW?

<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 align=right border=0><TBODY><TR><TD><SCRIPT language=javascript><!-- OAS_AD('Top1'); //--></SCRIPT></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>Foley also announced that on the final RAW before Armageddon, Goldberg will face Kane. Just days before their Triple Threat Match (along with Triple H) for the World Heavyweight Championship, will there be anything left of these two after RAW? Triple H certainly hopes not! Find out what happens when Goldberg and Kane go one-on-one on RAW!


Also tonight on RAW:

Christian and Chris Jericho will face the Dudley Boyz for WWE Tag Team Titles!

RVD vs. Batista

Lance Storm and Val Venis vs. Mark Jindrax and Garrison Cade

Lita and Trish Stratus vs. Victoria and Molly Holly

Booker T/Rosie/Hurricane vs. Mark Henry/Scott Steiner/Test

Watch RAW at 9/8 CT on Spike TV!

Unless all the reports are wrong, the angle isn't over yet. But from this segment it did look like it's over. Wait and see I guess.

isnt steiner hurt?

battle of the sexest??? heres a jericho face change

Ok so maybe it isn't over. Conclusion Jumping was one of my favorite events in track.

Would have liked to see Jericho talk them out of that situation somehow.

Nah with the segment involving Bisch you could hear Jericho start to say "well it started out" when Eric asked them if the bet was real.

And there we go. Christian was excited about the Armageddon match, but Jericho was not.

so any news on whether or not rvd is renewing his contract?
king:you know whos going to win between kane vs goldberg?
JR.:who?
King:hhh

lol

wtf was that powerbomb? rvd took a nasty bump

Does Batista have a name for his finisher?

ouch!
i think its just a tiger bomb

:rofl: @ Foleys pose at the beginning of Raw

6 teams in the turmoil? im missing 2
hurricane and rosey
garrison cade and mark jndrak
the dudleys
lance storm and val venis
?
?

Kane's promo reminded me of that scene in Bad Santa:

"I think I've turned over a new leaf. I beat up a little kid today for a greater good. It made me feel good about myself."

"You need many, many years of therapy."

la resistance...and um...not sure

It'll probably be Jericho and Christian, after Jericho uses his favor to cancel the Battle of the Sexes match.

I thought he already used his favor? I'm thinking the match will still be on... and Jericho will end up costing his team the match.

The Rock.

What.

:KLJD:KLFHKLJDHSKLDJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJHl;jkasdkl;fjaskdlfhasj klfhaskljfh

THE ROCK
HELL YEAH
FOR A NIGHT

ROCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[/mark out]

Well....that was unexpected.

Holy Crap!!!!!! Rock out of nowhere

MAYBE STEINER AND TEST

MONKEY'S NUTSACK!

THE ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MONKEY'S NUTSACK

rock is rolling tonight.

Glad to see the WWE can still play off racial prejudice, and ignorance of the American people.

THE ROCK AND MICK TAG TEAM CHAMPS?
DID MICK HIT HIM IN THE NUTS WITH THE ELBOW DROP?

:( <font color=969696>The Rock is on my TV screen.</font>

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ROCKS NEW MUSIC??

Are they really stupid enough to pass that petition out after it was signed by The Rock? I'm looking on Ebay for it tomorrow.

THE ROCK!!!!!

LOL IM SURE SECURITY IS TAKING IT AROUND

That was the Rock's new music. It just had a different beginning this time.

:drool: @ The Rock on Raw

That was a surprise. Excellent

SO WILL ROCK BE AT ARMAGEDON?

I doubt the WWE really cares if it gets taken. Not like they are losing much.

hURRICANE IS JUST AWSOME
i THOUGHT STEINER GOT HURT AT A HOUSE SHOW AFTER GETTING FROG SPLASHED?

YES THE ROCK N SOCK CONNECTION!! Anyway.. Hurricane is great!

Man, Rock sucks.

(BTW This is Sushi-Z)

Always good to see the Rock. Even though I think its shitty he's spending more time doing moives. I marked out for the crowd chanting FIFI.

Do King and JR even watch the show? They keep on asking where Stacey is when Foley did a whole segment last week where he ended the contract between her and Test.

YUP ITS STEINER AND TEST IN THE TURMOIL GOD THE ONLY GOOD ATHLETE IN THERE IS LANCE STORM DUDLEYS ARNT THAT BAD.
MARK HENRY REMINDS ME OF THE PREDATOR

YES! Mark Henry is wrestling, this match is an instant ****+ already.

WAIT? WHERES THE DUDE THAT ALWAYS DOES PLAY BY PLAY? I DONT EVEN REMEMBER HIS POST NAME LOL..BUT HE DID A KICKASS JOB

Dude, you forgot to hit caps lock. Just letting ya know.

I like Henry. I hope he drops Booker on his 5x 5x 5x 5x 5x WCW head.

ROSEY KILLED TEST!!!!!
BOOKER T BROKE MARK HENRYS JAW
LOL HURRICANE VS. MARK HENRY

ROSEY F*CKED UP SO BAD with his move on Test!

OMG

INCREDIBLE

Looked like Test screwed up to me.

lol sorry i just noticed

WHOOOOOO THE DISTURBED STONE COLD THEME!!! If and when Austin comes back, I hope he has that theme music again.

LOL at J.R. saying Mark Henry was the most dominating man in the match. He did two FK'N bear hugs

ive done season mode with goldberg

christian interference?

Amen! I've been saying that since they got rid of that theme. That theme was awesome.

I think I liked Austin the most when he came back with that theme, with the exception of the early days before he won the WWF title.

I liked him better when you'd cheer for him and he'd start yelling at you and flip you off.

Clearly Disturbed = QUALITY. And yeah, tonight seems like a throwback to 98-99 RAW, it just has that "feel" (mainly because of the surprise Rock appearance, I guess)

hardy? again... he should be wrestling
i want to see hardy and hurricane.

Good RAW tonight so far. :y:

kane got entrance ideas from tazz lol {the towel is great}

He did so by firing Test, but then at the end of the show they contradicted themselves but not actually firing him. Thus it kind of defeats the entire purpose of that angle, so technically Stacey is still Test's property.

If I were constanly in locker rooms with Trish Stratus, Stacy, Lita, and Victoria I'd have to carry a towel around with me all the time too.

<font color=969696>That Sweet Chin Music into a spear was awesome.</font>

I'm right here and my post name is right there next to this post. I couldn't get my computer going and it was an even bigger hassle with the new forums so no PBP this week. Maybe Armageddon.

So what all exactly happened? I missed the show.

Yeah security hands it to each person. Plus, wouldn't do you any good anyway without a COA.

RAW just opened up here, and you don't hear no Jim Ross going 'Bah gawd! Oklahoma undefeated bah gawd!' Although they are still going to the championship.

I guess they dont' let you do HTTP anymore, eh? :D

It seems a bit ho-hum, aside from The Rock's one-time appearance. Nice to see the Jericho/Christian feud indeed continuing (well, it'll become a feud eventually).

maybe Stacy switching to Smackdown?
Anyway, RAW was awesome last night. Rock coming back was an awesome moment. We'll see if it was more for one night, and it looks like Jericho might cost Christian the match at Armageddon, and maybe we'll see Matt and Christian team up in the future.

I'd like to see Stacy Keibler and Rob Van Dam as a 'couple' on Raw. It gives Stacy a place to be on the card, gives RVD some character depth and I think its just what RVD needs to elevate himself. All in all it would be a positive thing for all involved.

Oh yeah, I just want to say it was a pretty awesome Raw. Raw has been kick ass for 3 weeks in a row now. So I'm just giving out my props to the WWE for some great work. Hopefully, the ratings will reflect on how great the show was.

The Chris Jericho-Trish Stratus and Christian-Lita segment was done fairly well. I actually thought the WWE might kill the angle but then through out the show we saw that they were going to continue the interaction. Christian is a heel of all heels while Jericho looked like he was regretting what he had done. This storyline has been a really great piece of work and I hope it continues.

Great match between RVD and Batista. They fumbled a spot or two but it was a really kick ass match neverless.

The Rock 'N' Sock Connection. Need I say any more?

The six way tag team match was a very solid match. It did have a few botched spots but it was still great.

STEINER SUCKS! That was a hell of a loud chant going on. Wow. Steiner got great heat. Although, I'm not sure if it was because he was being a good heel or because thats how the fans actually think of him. Anyways, he looked good on Raw this week. (reminded me of his WCW days) The Steiner Sucks chant kind of reminded me of the infamous X-Pac sucks chants we used to hear.

Goldberg-Kane match was pretty good, not a horrible match but Kane has lost some momentum from his transition from the Shane O'Mac angle to the World title scene. Goldberg looked really good tonight and his spear on Kane was huge.

Armageddon should be a good buy rate because of the great Raw shows leading up to it. I think I may buy it and I have not bought a WWE pay per view since Wrestle Mania X8.

Great Raw!

I dug RAW last night, but something bothered me in the six-man tag match that's been bothering me about WWE for a while:

When did it become legal to win a match for your team if you're not the legal man? Test and Hurricane were the legal participants at the end of the match, but Henry can win it with a bearhug? What should have happened was 'Cane passing out in the hug, then the referee getting up in his face and forcing him out of the ring. Then, Test just rolls in and gets the cheap cover. It's heat for Test/Steiner going into the Turmoil match (plus it sets up an obvious feud with Hurricane/Rosey in that match), and WWE can pretend that the "old rules" still apply.

Other than that, though, really good show. The Rock coming back surprised me (even though I'm pissed that Foley refused to salute the French flag after he forced La Res to recite the Pledge of Allegiance last week), but I would have like to have seen him turn on Foley. That would have made La Res look like serious threats, rather than cheap-heat jobbers.

I like where the Jericho/Trish/Christian/Lita thing is headed, and I'm legitimately curious what's going on with Hardy now.

Another excellent RAW in my opinion. Two weeks in a row where it wasn't spoiled by knowing ahead of time what was going to happen. It's begining to look like the old days where you would be anxious to watch RAW and think "What's going to happen this week?" I can't wait to see what's next, they're shaping up to be good again, hopefully. :y:

The Rock showing up was really great and unexpected. Guess he's no longer a heel, lol.

Next RAW should do fairly well. Usually the RAWs after a PPV tend to do well.

Steiner went to UofM. I love UofM. RAW was in California last night and the Rose Bowl is Michigan vs USC, so I think that's why they were saying Steiner sucks.

I think you're right. In fact, didn't JR say something to that effect? Of course, USC fans SHOULD have been chanting "JR sucks," since it's OU that's taking their national championship chance, not U of M. Although, if UM wins...

*Humming "Hail to the Victors*
